Chapter 2

"Hey honey." Christy called quietly, pecking Elie on the cheek, trying to get him to wake up. He groaned, and turned around.

She sigh and go up folding her arms. "Elie you need to take the kids to school. They're almost ready. Come on wakey, wakey." She huffed.

"Fine..." Elie grumbled pushing himself up as she left.

He goes in the shower and takes a cold bath. On walking out of the bathroom he catches his reflection on the mirror. He stops to stare at his scars. They were old yet look fresh with memories.

"Elie hurry!" He heard Christy call from downstairs.

She was bathing David while Deborah was putting on her uniform like the big girl she was.

"David honey, you cried a lot yesterday, how do you feel now?" She asked.

"I'm okay Mama, I saw monsters under my bed, but they don't come out when their is light, they can't hurt me." He said in his childish tone while playing with the bubbles.
